We study God’s word, we read God’s word, and we preach God’s word "So people will know how beautiful, how sweet, how glorious, how important the Word of God is, so they will love the Word, keep the Word, so that through all this they may know the God of the Word."

Lord's Day Eve - The Valley of Vision

Another week has gone and I have been preservedin my going out,in my coming in.Thine has been the vigilance that has turnedthreatened evils aside;thine the supplies that have nourished me;Thine the comforts that have indulged me;Thine the relations and friends that have delighted me;

Thine the means of grace which have edified me;Thine the Book, which, amidst all my enjoyments,has told me that this is not my rest,that in all successes one thing alone is needful,to love my Saviour.

Nothing can equal the number of they merciesbut my imperfections and sins.These, O God, I will neither conceal nor palliate,but confess with a broken heart.

In what condition would secret reviewsof my life leave mewere it not for the assurance that with theethere is plenteous redemption,that thou art a forgiving God,that thou mayest be feared!

While I hope for pardon through the blood of the cross,I pray to be clothed with humility,to be quickened in thy way,to be more devoted to thee,to keep the end of my life in view,to be cured of the folly of delay and indecision,to know how frail I am,to number my days and apply my heart unto wisdom.
